Piece graphics bug?
suija (1365) 2020-01-31 17:46
I didn't log in 81 dojo for a long time, and a week ago I decided to play again. I was fiddling with the options and switched from simplified ryoko graphics to one kanji red promorion (hirez). Now simplified ryoko and a few others are unavailable all of a sudden.

As a side question if I was to make a nicer looking graphics for the board and pieces will some admin care to consider adding them in 81 dojo?

I wasn't aware that you can lose you class (if that's what's happening). I have a lot of D-Miles btw.
But the thing is Simplified Ryoko was the basic set that you start with and in that page it says it is available for the regular member(no class).

If it's been over a year since you last properly used the site, what's probably happened is that your user class dropped.

By earning enough D-Miles in the current year (or a different amount in the previous year) you qualify for increased user classes that entitle you to additional site features, including the access to the piece styles you've mentioned.

I can't comment on how receptive 81Dojo would be to further piece graphic suggestions, but I do know that there's a set made by user CouchTomato that are used on pychess-variants called "1-kanji guided" that preserve kanji, but distinguish pieces by colour, and indicate their movements via subtle patterns in the coloured backgrounds.

This is 81Dojo's web system for account and data management. The entrance to the shogi app can be found in the main site at https://81dojo.com.
